New York firefighters Brian Thomas and Jimmy Duffy visited Albert Lea on Sept. 5th and 6th, 2002. Both of the firefighters had gone into the World Trade Centers on  Sept. 11, 2001. They gave a speech on what it was like that day. It was a very touching speech. Here are some pictures of the firemen (they're the ones with the dark blue and white t-shirts standing by the Albert Lea fire engines).
